    However i stopped and cut a dozen rounds of this new pine score and moisture content 5 minutes after cut was 20%. Also might have another owb customer for $50 a truckload of rounds. 1/4 mile from the hoard. My house is only maybe 2 miles from it also. 40F197E5-8BAE-460F-8644-1AB340A0D49E.jpeg

    OMG, so when i went to my town hall to see who owned that ash tree by the side of the road i learned that it was actually our land at the school. I always thought our property line was only a few feet past our playground fence, not the case we own like the whole rest of the lot , what is like atleast an acre or more. The amazing fantastic news is that the rest of this land is littered with the biggest concentration of dead standing ash iv ever seen. And fallen ones are everywhere. I have to get pics today its beyond awesome its so incredible.

    We always assumed the fence was our line, i should have known better cuz the rock walls show the layout and explain it perfectly. But you know what happens when you assume. This is awesome, the wood just keeps on comin

    Make sure the school knows that you are doing them a big favor, removing dangerous dead trees right next to the playground. I know someone who's in the market for ash, Mwalsh9152?
